thats funny, because invasor made bernardini look like a plow horse when they raced each other. just like he did to discreet cat. if you beat the best, you are the best. thats my problem with zenyatta, she beat leathal heat last out a horse that can't win diddly but is in zenyttas pp's a few times. to be great you have to travel around, beat the best and do it when things don't go your way. watch invasor win the witney when the pace was crawling, he closed anyway, or rachel winning the preakness and woodward. they dogged her all the way around and she held off the finishers. winning HARD races under HARD conditions makes you great. any horse can run 4 jumps and win against hopelessly lower comp! the great ones take all comers and goes any where to find them!
